EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF TRANSICANT APPENDICITIS AND MODERN SURGICAL METHODS
Abstract
This article analyzes the clinical and diagnostic significance of early diagnosis of acute appendicitis and the effectiveness of modern surgical methods. The study covers the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease, clinical symptoms, the role of laboratory and instrumental examination methods. In particular, the importance of ultrasound, computed tomography and clinical scoring systems in the accuracy of diagnosis is substantiated. Also, a comparative analysis of traditional open appendectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy methods is carried out, and the advantages of minimally invasive technologies are shown. The results of the study show that early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are of great importance in preventing severe complications, reducing the rehabilitation period and improving the quality of life of patients.
